This is a Tactical weapon that may be used as a cheap substitute for the Venus Mouse Trap and Mutated Venus Mouse Trap.

Recommendation: Get it if you don't have a Venus Mouse Trap. The cost of the materials are cheaper, assuming equal gift exchanges (you can save even more by getting loot from Gift Boxes). If you already have a Venus Mouse Trap, it's not very useful at all, aside from collection.

The Festive Comet also has a Cheese Shoppe (selling Marble, Swiss, and Brie) and Trapsmith (selling the Candy Cane Base).

The Candy Cane Base is useful for its high luck. It is comparable with the Aqua Base, but has more power. It's also cheaper and has a much lower point requirement.

Recommendation: Definitely get it if you don't have the Aqua Base yet.

On November 29, the Festive Comet was invaded! Read the official story here.

From November 29 till December 23 a new mouse would appear every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday

Each mouse is represented by a lightbulb in the Christmas light strand at the top of the page. When you catch that mouse, the corresponding bulb lights up. Use this to track your progress!

On every Tuesday, new gifts will be available at the Festive Gift Shoppe. On every Thursday, twice as many Elf mice would appear in the Comet, increasing the number of Gift Boxes you can get!

Stockpile your Gingerbread Cheese, and good luck! The following table lists the mouse released on each date:

There is a small chance that the above mice might drop a Frozen Fromage. Collect as many as you can!

As soon as you had caught at least one of all the above twelve mice during the event, (i.e. lit up all your lightbulbs), you'll be able to thaw your Frozen Fromage in the Special tab of your Inventory. This produces Nutmeg Cheese.

Arm it, with your strongest trap, and cross your fingers, for you will soon meet the Squeaker Claws mouse! The first one you catch drops the 2010 Winter Star and the Ronza Voucher. Hang on to those; they could come in handy soon enough...

The second Squeaker Claws Mouse you catch drops Winter Hunt Gift Boxes of all three colors, regardless of your rank. This allows you to keep them for collection purposes, if you wish to do so.

If you run out of Nutmeg Cheese and still haven't caught it, do not worry; the Squeaker Claws can still be attracted by other types of cheese.

The Ornament and Christmas Tree mice may drop the Gingerbread Base Blueprints. These can be used to make, of course, the Gingerbread Base:

A new trap is seen in the Festive Comet Trapsmith: an Explosive Toboggan Ride. It only costs 10,000 gold; however, hunters will also have to provide 6 loot items to the trapsmith before they can purchase it. They are:

1 Festive Fuse, dropped by the Stocking Mouse

1 Heart of Ice, dropped by the Scrooge Mouse

1 Holiday Explosives, dropped by the Missile Toe Mouse

1 Icicles, dropped by the Wreath Thief Mouse

1 Packed Snow, dropped by the Snow Fort Mouse

1 Sled, dropped by the Slay Ride Mouse

The Explosive Toboggan Ride is a Hydro trap, and definitely worth the trouble, especially if you don't already have a Hydro trap like the Harpoon Gun or Net Cannon. It's also useful for catching the Hydra mouse in the Lagoon.

More experienced hunters may want to try to upgrade the Explosive Toboggan Ride. To do this, they must collect Seasoned Gouda Potions from Steel mice.

These can be used to make Seasoned Gouda cheese, which will attract tougher mice! A strong Physical trap is recommended, as these mice include the Vinetail (from the Seasonal Garden) and the Gladiator (from the Derr Dunes).

Craft these 7 items together (requires Hero rank, point requirement unknown) to get the Double Diamond Adventure! It's a stronger Hydro trap, slightly less Power than the Ancient Spear Gun, but more than makes up for it with its additional Luck.

The devs have provided a special page that allows you to view at a glance which loot items you still need!

The event ends at January 6, 2001, so you have until then to collect all the loot; good luck!
